Emigration is the correct word to use.
To "Banky", you must be a native-born American because you do not know that, aside from being a general a-hole.
Life in the USA for pinoys is both heaven and hell. My Filipino friends here say that all the time. If it were purely hell, they would all be headed back to Pinas by now. The work ethic in the USA is very strenuous, by any other country's standards. That is a bad thing usually, because it takes away precious time from your family and even from yourself. However, no Pinoy I know has ever complained about the high degree of economic opportunity, freedom and the attitude of tolerance that most people who live in the USA enjoy. The bottom line is, if you are an immigrant who ultimately achieves US citizenship and life in the US has worn you down, you can always return to the Pinas and live there indefinitely--and not have to worry about coming back to the US at your will. You have more options as an American than as a Filipino citizen.

Hell! No maid here. It also depends on where you come from. If you are from Manila or Makati, then youcome to Texas, this looks like a province. But if you ssettle in NY or Chicago then it is the same. I would say, work here, save your money and then retire in the Philippines.
By the way "Emigrated" is the right word.

Heaven. I have everything I need here. A loving husband, in laws who care about me, and beautiful loving children. I love Philippines also, but USA is my new home and thank God for USA. I have everything I need here- car, home, conveniences. I miss my family in Philippines, but not the hard life that was there.

What made u.s. dazzling is that we carry that the potential to control comes from God and is going directly to man or woman voters rather of a few Monarch as replaced into the case someplace else interior the worldwide. you could desire to save their thought interior the context of their physique of reference. Adams additionally stated: "we've not got any government armed with potential able to contending with human passions unbridled with the help of morality and faith. Avarice, ambition, revenge, or gallantry could smash the main efficient cords of our shape as a whale is going by way of a internet. Our shape replaced into made in simple terms for a ethical and non secular human beings. that's thoroughly inadequate to the government of the different." Our Founders held that it replaced into impossible to have the point of non-public freedom they have been describing until the persons had a solid, morally absolute code with the help of which they stay. *

i say both. at first, it was hell coz we came here with 2 kids. worked hard, established ourselves and instill the same values with our kids. Now, it's heaven. Got our own business. thanks to our parents who brought us up to pray and be thankful at all times and to be respectful to the rights of other people no matter what the circumstances.
